Earthquake in DC

The earthquakes in _DC wasn’t dangerous_ to take many lives, but was destructive to cause damages!

As such, there are no great histories of _wild earthquakes_ causing _huge damages_ in DC, but the great earthquake that had _caused considerable damages_ in _West Indies_ had also attacked the _Washington D.C._ regions in the year 1843. Some of the _earliest shock_ of the earthquake was felt in the year 1758. Likewise, the earthquakes that had occurred in the _years 1884, 1887, and 1918_ could be portrayed as examples in the _histories of earthquakes that stroked DC_ in the past years. The consequences of the melting ice, which _apparently increases the water level_ in the beach regions of the east coast, i.e. Washington D.C. could be one of the major reasons for such causes. The _largest glaciers of the Greenland_ too, add up to the factors that cause the earthquakes in D.C.

The _three great earthquakes_ near _Missouri_ in the years _1811-1812_ were felt in strongly in Virginia in Washington D.C. The destructive South Carolina in the year 1886 were felt in Washington D.C. too. The people from the cities, _Alexandria, and Virginia_ ran to the streets and the _cities were alerted_ with earthquake alarms too. A tremor in the year 1897 was moderate in its strength, but were responsible in causing damages like, cracking up the old brick houses, washing away the bricks from the chimney tops, and slight ground fissures, etc… in fact this earthquake is the strongest earthquakes in the Virginia’s history. The cities namely, _Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Annapolis, Baltimore, Carolina, and Alexandria,_ etc… are some of the cities in Washington D.C. that had faced the tremors of the earthquakes more frequently, till date.
